Typhoon Mangkhut path MAPPED: Where will Super Typhoon make landfall?

TYPHOON Manghkut is heading towards southeast Asia, as the US east coast prepares for the imminent approach of Hurricane Florence. Mangkhut is packing winds of 130mph and the storm is expected to cause devastation with floods, landslides and huge waves as it barrels towards the Philippines and China.

The violent Super Typhoon Mangkhut currently has sustained winds of 130mph (200km/h) - the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane and the winds of Hurricane Florence which is racing towards the south-east coast of the US.

Northern parts of Luzon and eventually Hong Kong and Guangdong Province will see major impacts over the coming days.

Super Typhoon Manghkut is on track to hit the northern Philippines with its strongest winds on Friday before striking Taiwan and then possibly heading towards Hong Kong and mainland China.

Senator Richard Gordon, the chairman of the Philippines Red Cross, said on Wednesday: “We’re worried for the 10 million people in the Philippines living in the path of this destructive storm, including those who have been displaced several times due to the monsoon rains last July and August.
